Question

Calculate the magnitude of force acting on an area of 0.5 m square which produce a pressure of 500 pascals

Answer 1

Answer: Ans.: 250 N

Explanation:  Here, we have given

Area(A) = 0.5 m^2

Pressure (P) = 500 pascal

Let the magnitude of force be (F)

We know that ,

P =  $\frac{F}{A}$

or,  F  = P *A

Therefore, F = 500 * 0.5 = 250 N   ans.
